Alice Munro 's short story "Boys and Girls" is a story about the lifestyle of the 1940' s, and men and women have specific roles dominated by gender. They should learn these roles like children and agree with adults. As the title suggests, men and women play independent and independent roles, and no one else is integrated elsewhere. Munro chose to say "boys and girls" rather than saying "girls and boys." He is excellent and she obeys him. Munro explained the story with the voice of a girl, but she did not name the girl. She has no role as a girl is important. Interestingly, Munro named the boy "Laird". This is another name for "Lord." The narrator wishes the reader to know that even though the boy is a young man, he is superior to his sister, the Lord. Also interesting is how the narrator starts a story. "My father is a fox farmer" and "I have not grown up on a fox farm".

Alice Munroe's short story "Boys and Girls" discovers the meaning of becoming a girl through young girls and explores the various roles of men and women in society. A careful study of the elements of the short story used in "boys and girls" will help us understand the meaning of the story. The story took place in the fox of the suburb of Jubilee in the 1940s, only 32 miles from the county prison. The farm reflects the wisdom and wisdom of the narrator's father. The fox of the fox is properly placed in a high guard rail like "medieval town". Each pen contains a dog house, a wooden lamp, and a cutlery attached to a barbed wire. Fox farm is a place of father's field, diligence and creativity, and the talker seems to be at home. The house itself is a mother's farm, but this place avoids many elements of the female world, so it is a place the narrator avoids.

Alice Munro's "Boys and Girls" seeks young girls' rituals through the growth of women from a limited feminist perspective. The narrator fought in unison with the Fox farm in Canada in 1940. Since this period is still focused on male control, when she finally succumbs to the rules that society imposes on her, her desire to become a strong woman runs out. The story was written in the first person's story and I saw it through the eyes of a young, freewheeling girl. The theme of this story is self-discovery, stereotype, and rebellion. In order to describe these themes, literary methods such as implication, similarity, circumstance sarcasm are used. As the writer is trying to describe his father's creativity by linking it to a famous novel, that persuasion will appear in "his favorite world book is Robinson Crusoe."
